Joel with Christopher Seitz
Menu
Dr. Christopher Seitz (Wycliffe College, University of Toronto) guides us through Joel. We discuss:
- How to read a book (like Joel) that does not situate itself historically and temporally
- The significance of the four locusts in Joel–the swarming locust, the hopping locust, the destroying locust, the cutting locust (Joel 1:4)
- How Joel’s phrase “the day of the LORD” can refer to two days
- The place of the nations in God’s future deliverance and judgment in the book of Joel
